I put a hoover board batteries in mine both are 42.4volts each and ITS MANDATORY U REMOVE THE 1ST GEAR IN BOTH GEAR BOXES, UR TOP SPEED DOUBLES, IM TALKING ABOUT OVER 30MPH
@@brianpatrusevich2144 nice work.
Nooooooooooo rubbbbberrr smh
@@brianpatrusevich2144 I've done some with rubber but the added traction chews up the gear boxes... And besides we live in Buffalo NY and it teaches the kids a little bit of counter steer they will need some day with our snowy winters. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂BRO THAT SHIT IS SLOW AS HELL
Dude put rubber on those tires and shes taking off
@@user-nq1kp4ec8o I've done that on some but it' puts a lot more stress on the gear boxes... Plus this way they learn how to countersteer/drift 😂
Burnt my motor up on a 24 volt
Oh yeah... You'll burn them up for sure running more voltage than they are rated for
@mikewebster919 how did you not burn yours up? I ran this dual battery on a 24 volt razor quad for 2 years no problem though. Seems power wheels can't handle it though
@@kevins5268 oh I burned a bunch up but kept replacing them.
@mikewebster919 nice now I bet she burning up your car motors ha. Just saw this was 10 yrs old
@@kevins5268 hahaha... Not quite yet. She's 15. Lol
Where did you get the gearbox
The gearbox was original but the upgraded gears were from MLtoys.com
@@mikewebster919 thank you sir. Any chance do you know the part number ?
@@malnadgowda_inusa3734 I'm sorry, I don't
Weeeeeeeeere🎉😂 best party of riding the power wheels when dad makes it faster
Why you should be install headlights and taillights and brinkle turns to power wheel vehicles.
Do you know the inner diameter of the final gear (the big one)?
I'm sorry I don't. We don't have that power wheel anymore either or I would measure it.
Also try kidcars.tv. It's a good forum and resource.
I tried to use an 18v battery on my power wheel but it didn’t work. I made all the connections that u show but just the last come on. The car won’t move. What should I do next
What do you mean "just the last come on" ? If you put the stock battery back in does it work ? Was it 6 volt or 12 volt originally?
Where do you buy the parts
Usually either mltoys.com or a local hobby store for the motors. They are the same motors that are in rc cars. But ml toys is a great resource for all parts for modifications.
Do u change ESC ? '' controller board'' ?
Nope... All electric components have handled things well.
@@mikewebster919 Nice ! im gonna try it i hope my XMX 603 and my barbie cadillac gonna hold this motor with 24v
do u change the controller ? for the 24v battery with traxxas 775
How long did the batteries last?
Like 15 minutes. They don't run longer they just run faster.
I wonder if you can do this on a 60 volts battery.. Can someone answers me please
The 60 volt batteries would be fine... But your motors will never take that kind of voltage. If you hook them up they will probably run like a raped ape for about 15 seconds... And then they'll smoke. Once you get the smoke out you can't get it back in... Lol
@@mikewebster919 so 24 battery ist better ah???
@@tonymorales3127 Yes 24 volts should be okay... I have fed as much as 36 volts to new motors.... Like the Traxxas 775's or something like that. Chances are still pretty good that if you feed anymore then 18 volts to the stock motors you're going to destroy them. But destroying them just means that you get to upgrade them. 😀😀
@@mikewebster919 i know men I have 24 volts its call. Utv mx electric car but battery doesnt for more then 10 mins 😩
@@mikewebster919 what would be an upgrade and where can I find it?
Did this with a 20v 3ah dewalt battery. Worked awesome at first but now after a few times i have 2 batteries that show charge but don't put out any power. Must have burned something out in the battery. It may be that they're so low they won't charge right.
Hmm... I had no problems like that. I do have batteries just crap out after a while though. Maybe they just both quit at the same time? Or... Where they too hot ?
@@mikewebster919 good to know it didnt happen to you. Ill try a new battery and see what happens.
toolman tim taylor just requested "more-power" for his daughter...and another shirley muldowney was just born.....look-out racing world.......and keep the local fire-department on standby wouldya.....
Haha
what do you need for upgrade battery
Not sure what you asking here? Anything over 12 volts is an upgrade and will go faster. Or if you wanted to use a marine battery you will get longer run time.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👍
That’s awesome!
Can u burn out motor going from 6v to 18 b
The 6 volts prob won't take 18v too well. The 12 volts do ok at 18 but 6 is pushing it. Only one way to know...😀.
@@mikewebster919 yup, burned out my circuit board, i had to order a new one for $19. I wished i read ur comment before, lol live and learn. as soon as i hooked up battery and placed the seat it started to smoke.
@@akbarbukhari lol... Once the smoke comes out you can't get it back in either 😀😀
@@mikewebster919 yup, the good thing is I was able to order the board from the company that makes it, ended up paying $30 for parts and shipping. I first went two repair shops to fix the board but they could not get the fuses that were sauderd on, but im glad i was able to order it online and not trash the whole car. :) I was affraid to burn the motor but instead fried the circuit board.
@@akbarbukhari yeah def. Boards are far more critical then motors. And when you burn motors that just means you upgrade when buying new. 👍
Because SLA batteries are crap they are rated for a 20h discharge rate. The car probably has a 1hr load you will lose more than half your capacity.
That's awesome any write up on the 36v? Stock controller?
Not yet. I've used 36 but your def going to smoke typical motors and gearboxes if not upgraded.
@@mikewebster919 what other mods did you do? Any writeups
@@lsxjunkie upgraded the gear box to having a metal first drive and also swapped the stock motors for Traxxas 775s.
Any write up on this yet do the lights and radio still work??
Used spare 18v on my Pedrigo 4 wheeler,burned up 2 batteries,motors ,used my warranty on motors new ones burnt up after awhile,,BUT KID HAD BLAST OVER summer!Well worth it if your kid is outgrowing it anyway.
Dope shit just did it thanks for the video man
Awesome! Have fun.
I would recommend installing an inline fuse on the positive side. I just got a basically brand new PW fire and rescue Jeep for my Son for a steal. I have since installed e Real tired in the front and back and wired it for 18V. Man do the real tires make a huge difference!
There already is a fuse inline on mine. You can't see it in the video because it's after the hood. And yes real tires will be better but watch out for stripping gears. Your putting alot more torque on them because the tires don't spin like plastic ones. Happy moding!
Yea I can definitely see that happening, I just ordered 2 new 24v motors with metal gears just for that reason, lol I never thought about using drill batteries, I have tons of Milwaukee batteries so I think I might give it a try.
@@ttali211 yeah def. I have a video on the metal gear install too...but it's pretty self explanatory. The Milwaukee batteries should work. Have fun.
I did this with pair of Milwaukee 18v lithium batteries and only 20 mins and motors where smoked lol but with just the 1 18v it last 30 to mins at least and cruises just fine video is one my channel
I looked on youtube and you had exact same jeep and same dealt battery. This video was perfect. My daughter is out driving the yard as we speak. Found jeep at yard sale for $20. Only thing I did different was left the power wheels connector on instead of by passing it.. I made a commemt earlier about stripping the gears by adding more power. That's just what my neighbor told me when he seen what I was doing. Said he ruined the gears on motor but he also used 24v instead of 18v.. 18v might be fine.. Next addition for her jeep is I'm going to add l.e.d. lights for headlights and liquid nail a rubber strip around back tires from an old worn out bicycle tire. I heard you could also switch wheels from a kidstrac jeep bc there's comes with rubber arpumd the tire already for traction. They have a patent on it so that's why power wheels can't add rubber to theirs.
Cool. Glad to help. But watch out in adding traction....your def gonna start to smoke gears. The more traction you have, the more stress/torque your going to put on the gears. You can always replace the first drive with a metal one from mltoys.com. Good luck and happy moding. 😀
At the very least get the controller that removes the auto stop after the pedal is released. It let's it freewheel rather than instant stop. It is less stress on the gears but you will need to make sure that you kid knows that it won't stop as quick. 😀
@@mikewebster919 ahh good point.. I didn't think about that.. Traction causing more strain on the gear.. This is all new to me, first kid, first power wheel purchase.. Never knew what ppl do to these things til I went down the youtube hole of power wheels for about 3 hours lol.. Thanks for the advice!!
@@allthingssilver7635 oh yeah...it gets deep. I would def recommend the free wheel module. It will take a lot of the stress off the gears. Good luck a lmk if you have any questions.
@@mikewebster919 I looked into the soft start/stop module. I'm doing that, thanks for that advice. I would of never thought about something like that.. I wonder what's different about kidtrax motor setup bc they come with rubber strip on tire but what you said makes a lot of sense about traction adding stress to motors.
Just be careful adding a higher voltage battery bc you can do like my neighbor did and strip the gears on motor bc they are plastic. Power wheels sells a gear kit upgrade for ppl who wanna up the battery voltage.
Thanks....Yeah I have done many gear and gear box upgrades. And FYI...powerwheels does NOT sell anything for upgrades. They are only sold from aftermarket sites like MLTOYS.COM
Been running my kids powerwheels on 18v lithium Milwaukee batteries with Traxx motors for two years now on grass and hills with traction upgrades and haven't had any problems with gearboxes at all.
How do I charge
The DeWalt batteries?
what is the size of metal gear
Not totally sure. They are typically all the same from what I've seen. It's just called the first drive .
use a gas motor....
DeWalt how many Ah ? And running time ? Charingtime?
yeah buddy King. With the 18 volts it's only one ah rating...and you'll get about 10 minutes on each one. But I've since used my 20 volt batteries and have used from 2ah to 5ah and I will get 15-20 minutes on the 5.0s. Although alot depends on terrain like grass vs road. Have fun.
Thanks for sharing ! Ha a Good Day! Regards yeah Buddy
less talk.. more video
My 40 amp fuse has burned what can I do ?
CH!CARCAS TERCERO just the fuse or the wiring coming to it ? You must have shorted something out because I've never popped any fuses. ?
I don't even run fuses
she needs a helmet and a taller roll bar.
Scott Mertlich lol
I have a power wheels vw bus 6v, the one sold at Walmart. I'm guessing doing something like this would fry everything as it has a circuit board that goes to the pedal and also lights and sound so I bypassed this board. Anyone Else just said "f!@k it" and it's worked? Just wanted to know if these boards can actually take more than you think. Pretty sure it'd take 12 as they do a 12v version.
hifivelowfive you should be ok with 12 or maybe 18 volts. But not 36. All of the components on this Jeep is meant to run on 12 volts and it was fine. You can give them quite a bit more voltage than what it initially has. And even if you do fry it... That just means you have to replace the motors with better/faster ones...😀😀😀
+Mike Webster I've replaced the motors. And it now runs off 3s turnigy 5000 batteries. It carries me fast and I'm 15 stone. I'll upload the video in a min haha
@@hifivelowfive please do, would love to see.
How do you recharge it?

Does Fisher Price make a fire extinguisher? lol
adamyaw lol...no 🔥 yet. 😀
Hi question you change 1 only u can't change all of them or just the first one will do the work I. Going with a faster motor I'm wanna change the gears I know the motor will melt the plastic out ..
brayden Zambrana you only need the first one. The reason being is that the metal pinion drive from the motor will trash the plastic first gear. The metal first one will take the load and the rest will be fine. Happy moding.😀
Mike Webster cool thanks I can't wait .. How did it work any issue did you got it on M.L site .. check my son power wheel @braydenaudir8 thanks for your help ...
brayden Zambrana yes ml toys. Worked great. No prob but burning motors from too many volts eventually...😀😀😀
So they saying if I change the pinion I have T10 pinion if I go higher what that means speed goes faster I won't get stuck in gear or we came or gears how that works do that going to affect the rest of the gears it don't matter the rest of the gears he just opinion that will do the traction of the speed
brayden Zambrana you're going to need to rewrite that... LOL. I don't understand that at all
Mom Dad set my scooter on fire.
REDCLAY HOMESTEAD lol... hasn't happened YET! 😀
Good
Need to find gear as well
3172660078 go to mltoys.com
Nice modification!! 😂
Phillijr thanks... Give it a try yourself. Let me know if you have any questions and have fun.
Thanks Mike,my kids Peg Perego 4 wheeler has new life,did same thing you did,it's really fast now,amazing.
roy nelson good to hear. Enjoy.
36 volts works great
i did this with a 24 volt motorbike once
vaughan waight yup... That'll work too. I also used 2 deep cell marine batteries and hooked them in series for 24 volts. Was nice because they ran all day.
what would happen if every gear was changed to steel
Donovan Bryant Nothing. The only advantage to the steel first gear is that it being stronger takes the load of the new torque that is created because of increased voltage. The subsequent gears have far less load to them because of the gear reduction. The metal pinion gear from the motor will strip the plastic ones and obviously won't strip the metal ones. Make sense?
Mike Webster How about when you also add rubber wheels with increased traction? Any need to replace them all to metal for that scenario?
Don't use rubber tires on these. You will blow the motor. They are intended for these tires to break loose. I was reading up on that as well. I did however see ml toys selling a regulated pedal. Almost like the trigger to most electric drill motors. The more you push the faster it goes. Also have the opposite on lifting the pedal. I might go this route.
where can i fine those gear plastic or metal parts.. what store am in las vegas and they just broken
mayra hermosillo go to mltoys.com. They have all you need.
Mike Webster. Ok thanks.
My dad found one on the street and had no battey ( we asked if we could have it ) then i showed him this video and made the modification and now my sister have a new car for free
Diego Marquez neighbors just through one out. I asked is been out told me to take it as well. That's why I'm here lol
I would suggest greasing the gear with any excess grease inside the gearbox instead of just dropping the new gear in.
